Once again we were very pleased with the interest in an IHGS quiz, so many thanks to all who took the time to submit an entry and to Chris Broom for setting it.
A number of people were tripped up by the 'Gold Coach' and registered name of the corgi questions but there were several all-correct entries and the winner picked at random was…Mandy Geary. Many congratulations Mandy and we hope you enjoy your prize voucher.
Watch out for another quiz as we head towards Christmas…just 223 days away.

1. Due to the unsettled political situation created by the First Barons’ War (1215-1217).

5. The Heralds’ Visitations
6. Coronation Chicken
7. Now
8. Robin and Wren

10. Brown Bros. & Taylor Ltd., York. It seems others also laid claim to the appointment, so valid alternatives were not penalised.

12. 775
13. Lady Bertha Dawkins
14. Henry V
